This is the eighth year our group has been a part of The Dictionary Project, starting with one school and adding another the second year.

We’ve been doing this about 6 years. It is one of our favorite projects. The kids love them.

Reading opens the world for a child. To be able to help them open this particular door is amazing. To see their faces when you give them the dictionary in this day and age of the web is very gratifying.
